D Daddy, what's a train? Is itG something I can ride?D Does it carry lots of grown-upE7 A7 folks and little kids inside?D D7 Is it bigger than our house? WellG how can I explainD A7 When my little boy asks me, DaddyD whats a train? [Verse 1]D G When I was just a boy living by the trackD Us kids'd gather up the coal in aE7 A7 big ol' big gunny sack,D D7 And then we'd hear the warningG sound as the train pulled into viewD And the engineer would smile andA7 D wave as she went rolling through;D7 [Bridge 1] (spoken)G She blew so loud and clear that weD had to cover up our earsE7 And we counted cars as high as weA could go.D D7 I can almost hear the steam andG the big old drivers screamA A7 With a sound my little boy willD never know.

[Verse 2]D I guess the times have changed andG kids are different now;D 'Cause some don't even seem to knowE7 A7 that milk comes from a cow.D D7 My little boy can tell the namesG of all the baseball starsD And I remember how we memorized theA7 D names on railroad cars: [Bridge 2] (spoken)G D The Wabash and TP, Lackawanna and the ICE7 Nickel Plate and the good oldA Santa Fe;D D7 G Just names out of the past I guess they're fading fastA A7 Every time I hear my little boy say, [Chorus]D Daddy, what's a train?

[Bridge 3] (spoken)G D All the things I did when I was just a kidE7 How far away those old memoriesA appear,D D7 I guess it's plain to see theyG still mean a lot to meD A7 'Cause my ambition was to be anD engineer.
